The Cabernet Sauvignon "Helan Mountains" from Château Changyu Moser is produced in the Ningxia region of China, considered the most suitable area for Chinese wine production. The diplomat Zhang Bishi, having visited European and American countries where the production is abundant and lush, decided to import a large number of plants in order to start a modern Chinese wine production, also thanks to the help of an Austrian winemaker, August Wilhelm Baron von Babo. Over the years, production has grown increasingly, also thanks to Italian and American investors; in 2015, the Moser family, with thirty years of experience in the sector, decided to take over the company and make their expertise available. In 2017, they became part of the CHANGYU International Wine R&D Center project, focused on the ecological and cultural tourism of the country.

The crops are protected from the harsh winter temperatures thanks to burying techniques using sand and soil that create an impenetrable cover. Once harvested, the grapes are transported to the winery where alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel; it will age in steel for a few months before being bottled.
